Traniello Filled Up On

Level 10

Limit Hold'em

The action was folded around to Marco Traniello on the button, and he tried to make a raise. He fumbled the chips, though, and the 1,100 that entered the pot was ruled a call. The small and big blinds came along with a call and a check, respectively, and they three took a {Q-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} flop. Traniello bet after two checks, and the small blind called. The big blind check-raised, Traniello made it three bets, the small blind folded, and the big blind called.

The turn came the {8-Hearts}, and both players checked, and the river {8-Clubs} drew one more bet as the big blind splashed out 1,600. Traniello quickly called, and the big blind showed {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} for the full house. Traniello mucked, and he's fallen back to a still-respectable 49,600 as the break hits.

McNamara Chips Up

Level 10

Badugi

The action folded around to Steve Zolotow who raised preflop from the button; he found two callers in the form of the player in the small blind and Don McNamara in the big blind, so off to the first draw they went.

The small blind took two and McNamara and Zolotow each drew one. The small blind checked, McNamara bet and both Zolotow and the small blind called before they each took one on the secon draw. McNamara stood pat. The small blind checked, McNamara bet and Zolotow folded before the small blind called and drew one.

Again, McNamara stood pat, and both players elected to check before McNamara tabled {2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. The small blind flashed the {Q-Hearts}, but sent his hand into the muck. McNamara is now up to 47,000 in chips.

Dyer Stays Alive

Level 10

No-Limit Hold'em

Greg Dyer was down to 4,450 when he open-shoved under the gun. The player in the big blind sized him up before calling, and Dyer was flipping for his tournament life.

Dyer: {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {9-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}, and Dyer's pair holds strong. With it comes a double to 9,700, and the big blind was crippled and eliminated just a hand or two later.

KO for Kostritsyn

Level 9

Pot Limit Omaha

We picked up the action on a board that read {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, an opponent was all-in holding {Q-}{J-}{10-}{6-}, but was in a world of hurt against Alexander Kostritsyn's {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The river {a-Clubs} completed the board and with no qualifying low, Kostritsyn's two pair was good and the player count was reduced by one.

Mizrachi Makes Good

Pot Limit Omaha

The action folded around to Michael Mizrachi who raised to 800 from the cutoff; he found one caller in the form of Lyle Berman from the small blind before both players checked the flop of {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

Berman then led out for 1,500 on the turn of the {a-Clubs}. Mizrachi called, the Berman checked his option on the river of the {a-Hearts}, only to fold after Mizrachi bet 4,000.
